About Carole
Carole LaFreniere, LCSW, CSW, is licensed in New Hampshire and Colorado and has eight years of clinical experience. She works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is collaborative and practical, focusing on setting goals and working toward solutions together.
LaFreniere blends cognitive behavioral methods with client-centered and mindfulness work. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. Sessions emphasize strengths and the client’s everyday environment rather than only symptom lists.
She aims to build a reliable therapeutic relationship and uses straightforward talk to identify problems. That relationship is used to try strategies, test small changes, and review what helps. Humor and a nonjudgmental stance are part of how she interacts in sessions.
Her background includes work with inpatient psychiatric patients and with individuals in community settings. She has experience addressing trauma, sexual assault, and complex grief among other concerns. Practical coping skills and problem-solving are common session topics.
She arranges evenings and weekend appointments to fit around work schedules. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
Carole uses a strengths-based outlook and collaborates with people to design a treatment plan aimed at their goals. She encourages straightforward conversation about what is and isn’t working and adjusts approaches as needed.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing different ways of responding. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s own perspective and uses listening and reflection to help clarify goals and build motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with clients to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what isn’t.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow sessions without travel time. Licensed professionals use these approaches to focus on practical skills, processing hard experiences, and pacing exposure or cognitive work in a way that fits the client’s life.
